Shep was selected to participate in MassChallenge Texas’ 2018 accelerator program. The company was one of over 520 startups to apply for the four-month accelerator located in Austin, Texas, and will join 84 other startups from across the state and around the world.

Texas Venture Labs accepted Shep into its Startup Accelerator program after applying with their business plan, investor pitch deck, and logo. Shep had to undergo interviews and to pitch their startups before being chosen by students for acceptance into the program.

Complai, the Austin-based makers of Shep, announced that the company had closed a $1.4 million seed funding round led by Moonshots Capital with participation from the Capital Factory, an Austin-based accelerator, and fund.
